The Opus X was one of the best cigars I have had in my youthful venture. I had no problem, contrary to the salesperson, with smoking the cigar. After discussing what I am looking for in a cigar, he recommended (quite ironic to tx_tuff) the Ashton VSG. I purchased it, and cannot wait to smoke it.

More relevent to the original thread, I now see that smoking on a full stomach is more comforting than on an empty stomach. Also I like to have the full feeling with the taste of the cigar lingering in my mouth for hours.
